The Blackline X118 is a compact, high performance subwoofer for use with BlacklineX Series full-range loudspeakers. It extends the low frequency operating range of the combined system to 42Hz and provides exceptional low frequency impact. It can be used singly, stacked or flown via integral M10 insets and features a long-excursion 18” (460mm)/3” (75 mm) voice coil driver in a compact reflex enclosure. Its four reflex ports have a large frontal area to reduce turbulent air noise at very high levels.
